🔊 Episode Description:
In this episode of the Safety Consultant Podcast, Sheldon Primus challenges the conventional wisdom around OSHA fines and compliance penalties.
Are reduced fines really just a free pass for bad actors? Or can they be reframed as part of a solution-first mindset?
Sheldon explores the practical and ethical realities of penalty reduction:
- Calls out industry hypocrisy
- Defends the role of informal conferences
- Proposes a smarter path for both regulators and professionals
This is a must-listen for anyone navigating OSHA compliance, consulting ethics, and safety leadership in 2025.
